Short summary

Dawn sneaks out and spends Halloween night with a friend and two guys. When they are invited into the home of an eccentric old man, however, things take a turn for the weird. Meanwhile, Tara expresses concern that Willow is using too much magic and an argument ensues.

One of only three episodes to be based on Halloween.

This episode means that all three of the Summers women have had romantic encounters with vampires, Buffy with Spike and Angel, Joyce meeting Dracula for coffee and now Dawn with Justin.

Spike's admonishment of the vampires for not taking off for Halloween can be seen as a bit hypocritical. In the season 2 episode Vampiiritapja Buffy: Halloween (1997), he attempted to kill Buffy during the chaos caused by Ethan Rayne. This may also be the reason for his warning, as he did not succeed.

Xander says "I'm going to marry that girl", referring to Anya but Buffy thinks he's talking about Dawn. In the spin-off graphic novels, Xander and Dawn realize they are in love with each other and attempt to settle down into a blissful domestic partnership.

Xander's eye patch with his pirate costume foreshadows his eventual loss of an eye ("Dirty Girls").

This is an epic time for Dawn full of first times. She's fifteen and sneaks out to go on her first date with an older boy. She enjoys her first kiss with him. Dawn an her friends go in for a bit of Halloween vandalism and robbery, also firsts for her. Then things go really wrong, as they often do for the Summer's girls on Halloween, her date turns out to be a vampire interested in turning her for himself. Large battle ensues with the Scoobies and Halloween hunting vampires. The Coup de Grau for Dawn; she stakes her first vampire, her boyfriend.
